Happy New Year Everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year and for everyone to be safe! 

Let's make 2009 an amazing year!

Coco Rocha-DANSK Magazine

I really love this cover and feature for the Winter 2008 issue of DANSK fashion magazine.  This cover has one of my favorite models on it, Coco Rocha, and I really love it for a few reasons.  A) It looks really fresh, and natural. B) Coco really looks feminine, playing off of the upcoming trend of femininity. C) The feature inside the magazine is great, including a few different couture designers, especially Chanel.  Coco models these clothes so beautifully, and she is just a total natural beauty.  A lot of the other editorials in this issue are really great, so check it out!

Spring Beauty Trend-Purple Lips

 

For the Spring, purple lips are really in.  This trend was first seen on Zac Posen's Spring 09 runway, and the look was created with MAC lipstick in Violetta.  I also saw a small article about it in the January 09 issue of Vogue.  I was eager to get this color for Spring, so I picked it up today at the MAC Pro on Robertson Blvd in L.A.  So make sure to get yours before everyone goes crazy for it and they run out!

Daisy Lowe for Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S ads-First Look

I was looking through my new February 09 issue of Teen Vogue, and I saw the much awaited Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring-Summer 09 ads, featuring Daisy Lowe.  This ad, to me, is somewhat boring, and does not have a lot of dynamic.  I feel like Marc Jacobs needs a different photographer, because current photographer for Marc's ads has been Juergen Teller, who is a great photographer, but has not really produced any amazing shots for the last couple Marc by Marc ads.

Alexander Mcqueen Spring 2009-Favorite Looks

I just wanted to share which looks i loved the most from Alexander Mcqueen's Spring 09 collection.  I really loved all of his pieces with crystals on them, especially the last look, worn by Jourdan Dunn.  It was a jump suit with crystals all over it, and it was impeccably beautiful.  Here is the look:

I also loved this little mini dress that had great structure, and had the same amazing crystals on it. This dress was worn by Raquel Zimmerman, and really fits into the Spring trend of micro-minis.

Street Fashion

I really love looking at what people wear on the street, and while browsing through style.com, i found "The Sartorialist," which is also a blog, that documents different shots of what people are wearing around towns, especially during fashion week, outside fashion shows, and the people who attend them.  Usually the people who are documented are attendees of the fashion shows, or models.  It is really fun to see what the people who go to these shows are wearing, and how they really have great individual style.  

Here are some of the photos I really liked:

I really like ripped tights, they are a bit grungy, but add a little spunk to an outfit, and they also play off of the lacy tights trend. 

This girl's yellow-ish coat is a great piece to add a lot of color to an outfit, and it really works with her high-waisted skirt and blouse.  Even if it isn't yellow, any bright color is a great addition to an outfit, plus brights are really in for the Spring 09 season.

To me, this outfit looks very vintage, and I especially love her jacket, skirt, and shoes.  The colors are a bit darker, but they all work together.  Also, adding a colored opaque pair of tights is super cool and makes your legs look great.  Plus, her oversized clutch is super trendy, and holds everything you need, and it is textured, which plays up the outfit.

Spring Brights

Bright colors are definitely always in for Spring, but in a British Vogue editorial from the December 2008 issue, Anja Rubik was featured in a great photo story.  The feature was title, "Where the Wild Things Are," and it really showcased the fresh and fun looks of the new season.  Here are a few photos from the story(images courtesy of vogue.co.uk):

British Vogue-December 2008

For their last issue of the year, British Vogue definitely went out with a bang.  With a cover featuring Kate Moss and a headline theme called: "Fantastic Fashion Fantasy," this issue is definitely worth looking at.  Inside there are several editorial features, my personal favorite called, "Unbelievable fashion," by Nick Knight.  This feature showcases the talent of designers like John Galliano and Alexander Mcqueen. Definitely take a look at this issue if you can, in the U.S. it is out now, but in the UK they have already moved onto the January issue.  Here are some of the photos from the "Unbelievable fashion" feature.

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009

I really love these looks from the Spring 2009 show from Dolce & Gabbana.  The flowers on these pieces look so beautifully crafted and life-like, and they really caught my eye.  I also thought they really look soft and feminine, which is a key trend for the upcoming spring season.  Also, the dress worn by Lily Donaldson on the runway show was featured on the subscriber cover of the January 2009 issue of Harper's Bazaar, and this time, the dress was worn by Victoria Beckham.  

Here are the looks that really caught my eye, and the photo on the cover of the magazine:
